in the present study, competitiveness of iranian pistachio exports and competitor countries in  the world market are studied. pistachio export advantage using indices of revealed comparative advantage (rca) approach and vector error correction model(vecm) based on  agricultural and non-petroleum export commodity basket were investigated separately. the results showed that iran has a comparative...

Prokaryotes possess various kinds of cell surface organelles serving versatile biological roles depending on the environmental niche of the organism. The formation of these structures involves fascinating machineries, as not only do the protein components need to travel across the cytoplasmic membrane like all secreted proteins, but they also need to do so in a precisely coordinated manner for ...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the real–time trading of electricity. We address a model for an auction–like trading which captures key features of the real–world electricity markets. Our main result establishes that, under certain conditions, the expected total payment to the electricity producers is independent on particular auction type. This result is analogous to the revenue equiva...

The ever-increasing operational cost of geographically distributed datacenters has become a critical issue for cloud service providers. In order to cut the electricity cost of geographically distributed datacenters, several workload management schemes have been proposed, such as Electricity price-aware InteR-datacenter load balancing (EIR), which reduces the electricity cost of active servers b...

This study investigates the global allocation of hydrogen and synfuels in order to achieve well below 2 °C, preferably 1.5 °C target set Paris Agreement. For this purpose, TIMES Integrated Assessment Model (TIAM), a energy system model is used. In investigate synfuel flows, cost potential curves are aggregated implemented into TIAM, as demand technologies for end use sectors. Furthermore, trade...

The deregulation of electricity markets has led to higher uncertainty in electricity prices. Electricity, as a commodity, differs from other commodities and financial assets as it is not storable. Among the consequences of this non-storability restriction, the most conspicuous one is the presence of large spikes in electricity prices. Another outcome of the non-storability of electricity is tha...

This paper investigates the relationship between electricity consumption, output, and price in the manufacturing sector in Malaysia. We find that electricity consumption, output, and price are cointegrated in the long run. In addition, it has been found that the relationship between electricity consumption and output is positive. In the long run, we find a unidirectional causality from manufact...
